The Mission OF the Bundle Bee.

An Indiana farmer, who told his boys
to burn every humble bees nest they
found on the farm, aud who was com.
planning at the failure of his clover
seed crop, was surprised when Maurice
Thompson, the naturalist, said: "Thai
is why your clover seed fails you.
tumble bees make your clover seed. "
IL If fact that strong nest of humble
bees in big clover field is worth $40
to the owner; for these insects are the
chief agents in fertilizing the blossoms,
thereby insuring a heavy crop of seeds.
In Australia there are no humble bees
of our kind, and they could not raise
clover seed there until they imported
some.

How to rre.erve Elewer..

Cut flowers may be preserved fresh FOR
. long time in the following manner:
Get a glass shade and place it in q non-
porous vessel to form a stand; put water
around the bottom to keep the shade air
tight, then procure fresh-cut blossoms,
nut them in water Immediately, drop
. into the water into which the flowers are
placed q small quantity of spirits OF
chloroform, and place the shade over
them at once The flowers thus treated,
some writer says, will keep fresh for
months, but one should hardly expect
they would be in very fresh condition
after their four weeks confinement, but
the new preserving process Is worth try
ing. Care should be taken to have all
in readiness. As soon as the chloroform
is put in, place the shade over them,
and water is always kept round the bot
tom. A large soup plate would do for

After study of some years, Prof.
Mosso, Of Turin, finds that when fatigue
is carried beyond tho moderate stage, at
which it is decidedly beneficial, it sub
jects tho blood to deGomposing process
through the infiltration into it Of sub
stances which act rs poisons, and which,
when injected into the circulation Of
healthy animals, induce uneasiness and
all the signs OF excessive exhaustion.
When within the resisting power Of the
subject, fatigue has its pleasures and
even joys, these being the expression Of
the organic consciousness that bodily
loss Of tissue is being balanced by re-
construction. Mosso's experiments were
performed on Italian soldiers, aud they
proved, among other results, that the
stature and power Of the modern war
rior arc fully equal TO those Of the an

We also learned that an elegant stone

Sano, in addition to dozen or mo, Q
cottages to receive the hundreds OF
guests who will flock to this natural
summer retreat.
The Opera House, too, is to be remod-
eled this summer, 90 that in our city of
elegant residences we may expect busy

The mountain property is valuable for

there who wish to dispose OF building
lots will have no trouble in finding real

come amongst them, and ask fabulous
